Week at Open Court Reading Training

I spent the last week at training. Some new information some old. It was a good overview of the program. Our instructor managed to keep us engaged throughout the week. As I return, I want to focus on how to teach new vocabulary to students. I am also going to look at the best way to implement Independent Work Time (IWT). There was a brief overview of the English Learner Support Guide. I need to go back and review all this new learning and see how it best fits my classroom. Mr. R

Using BubbleShare to Post Student Work

I used Bubble Share to share student work. www.bubbleshare.com You can upload pictures and create an album. You can then share your album by email or by posting on your blog. This is our first attempt!

In our Friendship stories the students were asked to write about a memorable time they had with their friend. I am going to play with the best way to post student writing. Please be patient!

We are studying about multiplication. As you can see we are working on arrays to understand how multiplication and repeated addition are related. We also explored the order property of Multiplication.
